[Verse 1: Joe’s First Problem – Being Broke] Came to New York with a dream and a dime, Apartment smelled like crime—thought I’d lose my mind! Landlord laughed, said, “Boy, you’re outta luck!” But I got tiny homies, so I don’t give a— [Roach Choir:] “It’s super simple, let us lead the way!” “We steal some food, we don’t gotta pay!” “Dodge the rent? Oh yeah, we got a scheme!” “Just leave it to us, let’s live like kings!” [Chorus: Joe & Roach Choir] It’s super simple, yeah, I cracked the code! Step one: Stay cool, let the problems explode! Step two: Get gross, bring the city to its knees! Step three: Me & my roaches? We never say please! (It’s super simple! It’s super simple! Ha!) Verse 2: Fighting Walter Shit] Big boss Shit (pause for effect) tryna take my home, Wants a fancy prison? Oh, leave me alone! Calls in his goons, calls in the heat, So we flood his car with bugs ‘til he admits defeat! [Roach Choir:] “It’s super simple! Hit ‘em where it hurts!” “Turn his lunch to maggot desserts!” “One bad scandal, one bad night,” “And he’s runnin’ from reporters in broad daylight!” [Chorus: Joe & Roach Choir] It’s super simple, yeah, I cracked the code! Step one: Stay cool, let the problems explode! Step two: Get gross, bring the city to its knees! Step three: Me & my roaches? We never say please! (It’s super simple! It’s super simple! Ha!) [Bridge: Joe Winning Over Lily] Tried to impress her, but man, what a mess! Roach roommates? That ain’t first date finesse. But guess what? Love’s about passion and fight, So I showed her Walter’s corruption in plain sight! [Roach Choir:] “It’s super simple! Tell the truth!” “Stand up tall, let ‘em see the proof!” “Lily’s dream, yeah, now it’s real,” “Turned my slum to a garden with mass appeal!” [Chorus: Joe & Roach Choir] It’s super simple, yeah, I cracked the code! Step one: Stay cool, let the problems explode! Step two: Get gross, bring the city to its knees! Step three: Me & my roaches? We never say please! (It’s super simple! It’s super simple! Ha!) [Final Verse: The Big Victory] Walter’s gone, his prison dream sank, Now the neighborhood’s green, my rep’s top rank! I got my girl, got my bugs, got my throne, And NYC? Man, I made it my own! [Roach Choir:] “It’s super simple! Play it smart!” “Use what you got, make a work of art!” “Grit and grime? That’s how we thrive!” “Joe’s the king now—roaches for life!” [Outro: Joe Laughing, Roaches Harmonizing] (Joe:) “Yeah, yeah, I know it’s weird, but hey—” “City’s a jungle, you gotta rule your way!” (Roaches in harmony, fading out:) “It’s suuuuuper simple, it’s suuuuuper simple…” (Final beat drop, horns, mic drop.)
